Cast Samantha Alton.
We raise the idea of heroism up to the point where we often forget the story that inspired such feelings of gratitude in the first place, we see the plinth with their name attached, the statue put up by a grateful populace, and in time the only ones who pay attention to the image, the figure on the pedestal, is the day tripper and the pigeons who survey humanity with the bird-like contempt we deserve.

A Reckless Heart is easy to find, one with soul and creative joy oozing out of every moment it is held is rare, seldom seen but heard of in whispers, as if containing elements of myth and magic within its weaved grooves; for in every reckless heart that embraces the world with art there stands a sculptor and a surgeon fashioning the wounded nucleus of the body with extra compassion and spirit, one that gathers strength to sing, not whisper, of all that caused the rashness and wild to storm the streets and love all they came into contact with.

A nation apart but attached to England by the narrowest of land borders, a distinctive people who have been ravaged by plunderers and prospectors, who up until only recently have been told that their heritage and language was barren, extinct and their people mocked for their accent, their willingness to not join in the race that has splintered other communities in the name of gentrification. Cornwall may be an English county but it is to be argued that it is own country and woe betide the incomer who tries to take away their language, their song.

On Saturday 9th November the Warrington audience can find out what lurks behind the mere noise; there will be songs, there will be stories, there will be trousers – with any luck.

There is nothing reckless about Joanne Shaw Taylor, wild and as full of tempestuous cosmic storms that erupt from the Sun as it gives into its cycle of moods but never reckless, never irresponsible with the hearts of those who seek to spend their time in her company. She is attentive to the soul with a smile beguilingly appearing as the notes hang in the air and the manner of expression is savoured, it is the dedication to her craft that has created such an explosive sound and one that is cared for on both sides of the stage.

In a world that insists on pushing more than one handcart towards Hell, it often takes a sincere conveyor of words and acute observation to make you stop and think of just how love and honour can arrest the final slide into oblivion, how a small momentary glance can unveil a wealth of information to which many who insist that they are blind, will force their eyes open and make them challenge their personal, and sometimes dogmatic, views.

It is perhaps out of habit that we think of love as one created and owned by teenagers, the image of Romeo and Juliet declaring to the world, albeit with a sense of unnerving non-appropriate behaviour with consideration to their age, that their love is timeless, their love is written in the stars and cannot be contained.
